OBJECTIVE：To explore refined management mode of outpatient pharmacy ，and to improve the efficiency and quality of outpatient pharmacy service. METHODS ：From the hospital information and big data center of our hospital ，the outpatient pharmacy prescription data under the traditional management mode were collected ；fish bone analysis was used to find out the factors that may affect the waiting time of patients ，the work efficiency and quality of pharmacy ；4M1E method was adopted to improve the related problems and implement refined management. The prescription data of 10 working days before improvement，stage 1 and stage 2 of refined management were selected. The work efficiency of pharmacists ，average waiting time of patients ，dispensing errors and inventory errors before and after the improvement were compared and analyzed to evaluate the effects of refined management. RESULTS ：By fishbone diagram ，the factors influencing the waiting time of patients ，the work efficiency and quality of outpatient pharmacy service in our hospital included personnel factors ，machine factors ，material factors ， method factors ，environmental factors ，such as the number of personel and time alloction was unreasonable ，the machine was aging，etc. After the implementation of refined management ，the outpatient pharmacy of our hospital had taken a variety of measures，such as adjusting the staff working time and refining the performance rew ard scheme ，maintaining the automatic dispensing machine and updating the prescription scanning equipment，setting up temporary drug containers and opti- mizing the location number ，strengthening drug management and relevant personnel training ， openning the window ofcharacteristic single variety dispensing. The statistical results com showed that in the first stage of fine management ，the number of dispensing prescriptions and the number of p rescription items in the outpatient pharmacy of our hospital increased slightly in 10 working days. Due to the decrease of the number of on-the-job staff and the change of the number and time of open windows ，the cumulative working hours of on-the-job staff decreased from 1 680 hours to 1 440 hours；the number of dispensing prescriptions and prescription items per hour per capita increased from 52.0 pieces，58.7 to 65.1 pieces，69.6（P＜0.05）；the number of dispensing errors decreased from 30 to 5；there was no significant change in waiting time of patients and inventory errors. In the second stage of fine management ，when the amount of dispensing prescriptions in outpatient pharmacy of our hospital was similar ，the number of dispensing prescriptions and the number of prescription items per hour per capita increased from 52.0 pieces，58.7 to 59.9 pieces，67.3，respectively（P＜0.05）；the average waiting time of patients decreased from 9.30 min to 7.32 min（P＜0.05）. After further refining the error data collection method and adjusting the performance incentive scheme ，the number of dispensing errors in outpatient pharmacy increased to 75，and the number of inventory errors decreased from 5 to 0. CONCLUSIONS ：By 4M1E method，outpatient pharmacy of our hospital carry out refined management ，to achieve the improvement of work efficiency and quality，shorten the waiting time of patients
